TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 13, 2014) - Victory Nickel Inc. ("Victory Nickel" or the "Company") (TSX:NI) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Victory Silica Ltd. ("VSL"), has entered into a take-or-pay contract for approximately 20% of the 7P Plant production capacity and for its highest-volume quantities of 20/40 and 30/50 frac sand. The objective is to enter into similar agreements for an additional 30% of production capacity.


The Company's 7P Plant, with a nameplate capacity of 500,000 tons-per-annum of saleable frac sand is located approximately 18 kilometres south of Medicine Hat, Alberta and currently produces four grades of frac sand: 16/30, 20/40, 30/50 and 40/70. Until now the 7P Plant has operated with two crews, and all frac sand sales have been made on a spot basis. The signing of this first take-or-pay contract enables the addition of a third of four crews, and will increase the plant annualized run rate to 75% of full capacity, or 375,000 tons-per-annum. The Company's goal is to exit the third quarter with the 7P Plant operating at its full capacity of 500,000 tons per annum of saleable frac sand utilizing four crews on a 24-hour-per-day, seven-day-per week schedule.



"We believe that this agreement is confirmation of the acceptance of Victory Silica and its premium-quality frac sand products into the western Canadian markets," said Rene Galipeau, Vice-Chairman and CEO of Victory Nickel. "Ken Murdock, CEO of VSL, has always maintained that all we have to do is produce the best-quality frac sand and customers would soon recognize our marketing advantage. He is right."
